Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

13 of the 20 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 7 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 128 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

128 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
